FTP Help

So when I try and log on into an ftp, I have no problems connecting with my username and password. When it gets to the part that it starts looking for the directory in the ftp server, my connection times out. Anyone have any suggestions.

Does this happen with all FTP sites? What FTP client do you use?

It doesnt happen with all ftp sites. I use FireFTP and 3dFtp

Have you tried passive mode?

dynoman · 05-06-2007, 06:00 PM

I get the error in this step:

my connection just times out.

The getting directory list is normally where the difference between active and passive connections would show up.

I enabled passive mode, but I still get the same error.
I tried getting in the ftp through Internet Explorer and I get this message:
